Aim of the course is to provide theoretical a practical basics and aspects of using an optical and electron microscopes for an effective application during measurement. Students will see the possibilities and restrictions of both microscopy techniques. They will know how to set optimal parameters for obtaining the best results. This course also includes explanations of automated image analysis.

Students will be able to:

  • explain the basics of electron and photon optics, lenses, lenses errors, interaction of electron with solid state, sample preparation principles – sputtering and evaporation, principles of automated image analysis.

  • prepare a sample for scanning electron microscopy, for transmission electron microscopy.

  • operate with optical and scanning electron microscope.
